Ancient Egyptian has several terms for sculptor. We can not know how these Words were pronounced, since hieroglyphs do not include vowels, only consonants (exactly like ancient Hebrew, Arabic and Phoenician).
One term for sculptor is TAw mDAt (the A is a catch in the throat, not our letter A and the D is pronounced dj).
Another is sanx, made up of s + ankh (again the a is a catch in the throat, not our letter a). This refers to someone who "makes something live", in other Words someone who turns a block of wood or stone into the image of a person or animal.
Another is gnwty, which refers to someone who carves "historical records" on walls, for example on the stone walls of a temple.
All of these Words would include missing vowels, but we can never know what those vowels should be.
